So glad I listened to this on audio book, as the names would have been horribly mispronounced! Great story, interesting characters, but my brain had trouble visualizing all the different Capeks (pronounced "chah-picks" - who knew!) because each one is unique. I'd love to see an illustrated version.

This was such a good book. The concept is really cool and I absolutely galloped through it. Just brilliant.

DNF'd at 160-something pages.

Gosh, was this boring. There were too many POVs and I was bored during all of them. Many parts were overly wordy, and it could've used a good editing down. I also just don't like books about cults. I find them so one note and uninteresting. I really wish that I knew about that before I bought this book.

I've got incredibly mixed feelings about this book. On one hand, Dubeau's writing and story engaged me right from the beginning, and the premise is so interesting that it kept me hooked ever at points where the book lagged a bit. On the other hand, part of the problem here was that the book was drastically in need of editing down--overwriting was a serious problem throughout the book, whether it came down to head-hopping offering more POVs of a scene than necessary or the author feeling the need to 'tell' what he was already showing, or scenes that simply could have been quite a bit shorter and had more power as a result. So much detail and overwriting went into nearly every scene, the story just didn't have the momentum it should have--and so, in the end, it felt like it had been far too long even though the conclusion and climax had themselves felt rushed and a little bit unsatisfying (more like the first book in a series vs. the stand-alone I thought it was when I began reading).

I don't know. I'd probably give the author another try, but not if it was another book through this publisher since I think editing was one of the big problems here, as the book could have been a lot stronger if the over-writing had been cut down on and the ending given more heft.
